Why Should I Upgrade to the New mControl v3?

New features not supported by older versions of mControl, such as the iPad/iPhone interface, mRemote, Module Maker, Data Logging, mChronicle, and more!

Embedded Automation Inc. will continue to add major (and minor) features to the mControl v3 software. mControl v2 wil still be updated as well, but only with minor features.

mControl v3 was developed to be Embedded Automation's platform for the future development of, and supports or is compatible with, the latest operating systems, technologies allowing a better migration to future platforms for example, Windows 8, new Home Automation protocols, and so on.

Important Notes:

Your PC will need to remain on in order to execute timed commands and triggered events.

The mControl v3 Base Module provides the foundation for mControl v3. This Base Module is what allows the user to incorporate all available forms of home management with their home automation lighting and appliance control.

This would have been a great software if the company embeddedautomation.commaker of the software would care about the customer and offer products to work with the software. My business dealing with the company of the software does not know what customer service is. Order two products and never was told that items was obsolete. I had to ask 2 weeks later to find this out. Tried to order two items in order to talk to Zeebee HA and Zwave,,, same thing happen on both orders. Smarthome has been great with these problems.
